Shaman not working anymore after upgrade to kde-4.4
Hi,
some days ago I updated my system and the Shaman package manager (version 1.2.1) immediately stopped working, complaining about two missing shared libraries: polkit-qt-core and polkit-qt-gui.
I tried to compile it from sources but cmake script had problems finding the same libraries and failed configuring.
Does anybody know anything about it?

The shaman issue has been discussed on the Mailing list. It's been dropped to aur, till shaman2/libaqpm2 arrive with polkit-1 support.

Shaman v1 is not supported upstream any more so it has been dropped from the repos. I think you would need to move onto v2 from SVN.

Re: Shaman not working anymore after upgrade to kde-4.4
does that mean shaman2/libaqpm2 doesn't work as well? i built the package from aur and shaman2 opens up but doesn't show any packages and repo. It just runs the busy icons in the repositories box but other than that doesn't do anything

shaman2 is pre-alpha... so I would not expect it to work

Re: Shaman not working anymore after upgrade to kde-4.4
my opinion: all package manager guis are annoying, slow and dumb. (I mean every gui for every pkgmanager, including synaptic for apt, kpackagekit for yum, yast2 for zypp, and shaman for pacman)
Package managers' main feature is the CLI way. Until the birth of *buntu it shouldn't be a problem to type pacman -Ss or su -c "pacman -Syu"
I tried shaman some months ago, I hated that slowness, and was way too overcomplicated. Wasn't dumb slow, but prefer the quick cli way.

That is nice... you continue using the command line then and ignore those who do not want to.

Re: Shaman not working anymore after upgrade to kde-4.4
Shaman is still in KDE playground. And this name is intentional. I assume the shaman devs are happy for any input etc. but you don't want to play with package management on a production system. (use a chroot or vm instead)
